Learn to make realistic and interesting computer graphics in Wolfram Language. Render better images, model light interaction, 2D and 3D shader effects. Video lesson from Wolfram U.

Course Overview
Learn to create interesting and more realistic computer graphics using Wolfram Language. With the help of built-in functions, you can render better images and model the way light interacts with real-world textures and materials. This video covers graphics objects and includes topics such as the basics of rendering, realistic 2D and 3D shading effects, artistic shading models and realistic shading with physically based rendering.Featured Products & Technologies: Wolfram Language (available in Mathematica and Wolfram|One)
You'll Learn To
